Take me with you

"Wait!" said Anise. "Take me with you. Please."
Vasquez stopped and thought about what the girl endured. All the lies and suffering and unspeakable abuse by people who were supposed to care for her. All things Lauren could relate to.
"Where are your parents? Your family?"
"All dead."
"Ever seen a baby born?"
"Yes," said Anise.
"Think you could help me with mine?"
Anise smiled.
They boarded the airship together. Was she making a mistake bringing this girl to search for a haven that may not exist? Possibly. But she could not leave her behind in the hands of heartless violators.
