Rubinrot Page #4

Ya, well I won't were that.

Yes you will, my child.

But...

Charlotte is slimmer and a little taller.

Yes, such a string bean.

How lovely to be dressing

a brunette. So exciting!

Why do I need all the costumes?

For the mission,

my little swan neck, for the mission.

What's this mission?

Le mystre...

Le mystre...

I'm only the dresser, that's all.

"Ruby red with the magic of the Raven,

brings the Circle of the Twelve

home into safe haven."

Please, don't leave Gideon.

Nothing will happen to you.

"Ex hoc momenta pendet aeternitas. "

"The moment of Eternity."

"Twelve pillars

the castle of time will bear."

You will find your magic.

Gwendolyn...

Sophie...

Elisabeth Shepherd:

the last in of the Circle of Blood,

you will honour Count

Saint-Germain and follow him.

You will defend our secret and

protect it with blood and your life.

Sorry...

You said "Circle of Blood"?

And how am I going to

"honour and follow" a dead man?

And what's this mission?

Gwendolyn. This is not the right time.

But my father wasn't a looser,

and my mother mistrusted the Order

for a reason, so why should I trust you?

You are the Ruby.

We are here to serve you.

You are unique...

...precious...

...and special.

You will learn, my dear

to accept your gift.

Is everything alright?

How would you feel if you found out

your mother lied to you about everything?

I just wanted to protect you

from the Order.

I just didn't want them to try and

infect you with their ideas.

They think that they're

superior and elite,

with the right to rule over others.

Why would Grandpa be part of that?

I think he did what he could to

convince them to change their views...

...because two of his granddaughters

are gene carriers.

Listen to me:

Trust nobody!

What happened to Lucy, ma?

Why'd she steal the chronograph, anyway?

It was so long ago,

I only know a little.

It has to do with a great power

that's created when the

blood of all 12 time travellers

is read into the chronograph.

Lucy and Paul wanted to prevent it.

For what?

That's something I just don't know.

I mean, I trusted Lucy.

She was distraught

when she came to me.

So then you trusted Lucy

more than me, I guess.

You won't ruin everything for me!

You can't!

Charlotte.

I'm really sorry, please believe me.

Hands off Gideon! You got that?

Gwen...

I'm sleeping, okay?

Hello... Hello... Leslie?

I hear you now.

I didn't get much sleep.

I'm going to pump Gideon dirtbag

de Villiers for more information,

assuming he'll speak to me.

Hm, ya, he's so full of himself.

Miss Gwendolyn, nice to see you.

I need some information for your file,

if that's alright with you?

Star sign, bust size, Social

Sercurity Number, immunizations?

Do you take your tea with sugar?

Yes.

And here's your credit card.

Sorry, but what's this for?

You need me to tell you that?

Rock concerts, shoes,

candy, lip gloss...

the things a girl your age needs.

And there is no limit.

So I can buy anything at all?

You're the Ruby,

you can have anything you want.

And if... I donated a ton of money

to my friend Leslie's

mother's cat rescue?

I'd ask you to bring me a

receipt for the donation.

Here, just sign it.

You had a thing with Grace Montrose?

Ah. A long time ago.

The Montrose women

tend to be rebellious.

You'll have to keep an eye

on Gwendolyn.

One of my easier tasks.

Love affairs between de Villiers

and Montroses

are always ill-fated.

Don't worry, Falk.

Gwendolyn is definately not my type!

There's our little Ruby.

Be careful, or else she'll get lost.

You all think that I'm an idiot, right?

A little on the awkward side.

The problem is, the last gene carrier

from your family, stole the chronograph

with the blood of the

first ten time travellers.

Ya, assisted by the last gene

carrier from your family.

They has to be an actual reason why they'd

want to prevent the Circle from being closed.

Who says someone was trying to stop it?

Once the Circle is closed,

whoever possesses the chronograph

is given tremendous power.

Lucy and Paul wanted the power then.

Clearly.

However, Gideon has visited

six of the 12 time travellers in the past

and taken their blood

for the new chronograph.

Now we just need the last four:

Jade, Opal, Sapphire and Tourmaline.

What are you, then?

I mean, gem.

The hardest:
the Diamond.

But there are complications

with Margaret Tilney, the Jade.

Your grandmother's grandmother,

born in 1884.

I visited her yesterday in the year 1902

and she told me that she would only

negotiate with you, I'm afraid.

With me?

Ya, you are "Gwendolyn Shepherd" are you not?

Yes.

But how'd she know my name?

You might want to ask her yourself.

Ah! An elegant summer dress.

In 1912, women tended to conceal

their charms, as you can see.

Does you really think it works?

We have not finished, just yet...

Voila!

We have taken the ugly duckling

and transformed her...

...a swan!

Alors!

Little steps,

chin up, chest out...

and... curtsey.

Can't I wear my own shoes?

Oh! Of course you can not!

Encore une fois.

Little steps,

chin up, chest out...

and go.

That's a great hat!

Nice moustache. Walrus?

Or, circus ringmaster.

This is not a beauty pageant.

What matters is...

Uauthenticit! Correct'?

That is correct.

Attention!

Back straight, legs together,

parallel to each other.

Raise the teacup.

You want to blend in.

What's that got to do

with how I sit?

It could be dangerous

changing anything in the past.

You might end up not being born.

Now, hold the cup by the

handle ladylike, and

then you want to place your little

finger away from the others, up.

Excellent.

I'm done acting like a fool!

See, you are an arrogant dunce!

A gentleman never laughs at a lady!

Of course, I'd steal your chronograph

if I knew where it was.

I'm kind of an expert

on that kind of stuff.

They don't trust you,

because of your mother.

Do you trust me?

I just won't let you destroy my work.

Be careful!

I'm not a shopping cart, you know!

May I?

Nervous?

So, what other supernatural

phenomena are there?

Demons?

Ghosts? Aliens? Vampires?

Don't be ridiculous, Gwendolyn.

What are you, ah...?

Stay close to Gideon

and do what he tells you.

There's absolutely no way

she'll stay in character.

I can do it.

Stop it!

You'll work together.

A young couple:
polite,

well-mannered, well-bred.

Understood?

You time allotment for this

journey is three hours.

"Operation Jade" can begin.

Your destination is 16th of April 1912.

Weather:
overcast

Temperature:
10 Celsius.

And the evening:
scattered showers.

The watchword of the day is:

"Omnia vincit amor."

Which means, "Love conquers all."

Ready?

Amazing!

Stand over here.

Ow!

Don't move!

Gideon?

Sir Francis Drake, pirate to the Queen.

Welcome to history, Miss Shepherd.

Pleasant trip?

Extra! Extra! Titanic sunk!

Extra! Extra!

Impressed, Miss Shepherd?

You might say that, Mr. de Villiers.

We picked quite a good year.
