(Enjoy the backstory for Inker!)

No one's POV

Inker was about 13 years old when his mom got sick.

"It's only a matter of time...." He only hear those six words.

He heard "You'll go to The Refuge..." and burst into tears

He pinched himself hoping that this was a bad dream, and his mom was still there, waiting to give him a hug when he awoke from this goddamn nightmare. But unfortunatly for him, it wan't a dream.

When he did awaken, he was in a room, not his own, there were other boys around him, making sure he was okay. All he did was walk to the door and lean against the wall next to it.

"Well well well, what have we here Morris?" Oscar cooed at him from the hall, outside Inker's room. "A pretty boy it seems" Oscar continued his attempted flirting, and Inker continued to roll his eyes and not listen to anything this bum had to say about him.

This "Flirting" continued for about and hour until the door swung open.

Inker had no time at all to look to see who it was before seeing Oscar in his face, Morris behind him. "Listen to me, pretty boy-" Inker pushed him a safe distance away "-It's only a matter of time..." Inker zoned out, those words...

Why was it always those words?

"Did you hear anything I just said, Kid?" Inker popped back into the real world, a place he hated "n-no..." he said quietly

"What? Can't talk huh? Come with me." Before Inker had a chance to speak, he was being dragged away from the room he was safe in.

Some things happened that he'd prefer not to mention, but seriously, it had nothing to do with the Delancey's sexual intentions (ooooh a ryhme)

Inker lie awake in bed, making sure everyone in the room was safe at all times. He couldn't stay awake, he couldn't sleep. He didn't know what would happen to his body.

"Ya see, it's only a matter of time..." he heard one of the boys say, he was trying to sleep, but he couldn't.

He walked to the little group of boys.

"Hey Ink! Did'ja hear? Jack's gonna escape!"

He looked happy for once "When?" he asked

"When gov'nah Roosevelt comes at the end of the week!!"

All the boys shushed him

He noticed Oscar, out of the corner of his eye, staring at him
