Plan B

The night was dark, the wind was howling, and the little monster was lost.
It could have been worse, she supposed as the little monster stopped to rest on an old stump. At least the sun wasn't up yet, because than all of the humans would be out and about. That would lead to screams, and shouts, and gathering of pitchforks.
The little monster was not a fan of pitchforks.
But what could she do to get home? The little monster didn't even know where home was, or where she was. That's the problem with living in an alternate dimension; the pathways to and from it were constantly shifting about. And just because you were let out in one place was no guarantee that you could get back in from there.
She wasn't supposed to go near the pathways, as a hundred and seven was not yet old enough to handle an adventure in the human world.
But she'd always been a curious monster, and now that curiosity had gotten her lost.
Left alone sitting on a stump.
Well, there wasn't anything else to do but try Plan B.
Every monster learned different plans in case they got stuck in the human world for a while, though the little monster had never used any of them.
Still, she stood up off her stump and quickly headed off, hoping she'd be able to perform Plan B before morning's first light.
About an hour and a half before dawn, the little monster found what she'd been looking for: a human village.
Selecting the right house was tricky, as the little monster didn't have the time to be picky. But she found one with an open window she could fit though, and it even led right to a small room with a bed!
Ignoring the snuffling sounds of the small creature in the bed was hard, as the little monster had never seen a human before. Were they all so small and chubby checked?
Stepping carefully to avoid waking the small human, the little monster slipped underneath the bed with the ease of familiarity.
For being beneath a bed was one of the most comforting places a monster could be, even when the bed belonged to a small snuffling human.
Now to wait in the relative safety she'd found until either another monster could find her, or she could figure out a way to get home.
It shouldn't take too long, right?
