Rubinrot Page #8

We must travel.

We need your help with it. Now.

Your target destination is the

24th of December, 1942.

The watchword for the day

is "Krie, elison".

On Christmas Eve,

it's especially quiet in the house.

Ready?

Ready when you are.

It's all clear.

Come on.

Merry Christmas, 1942.

"Blood will open the lock".

And, why is blood's always needed?

Give it to me.

The observatory!

Signs of the zodiac.

What do they mean?

Look,

a raven .

The Ruby.

"Ruby red with the magic of the Raven,

brings the Circle of Twelve

home into safe haven."

"On mighty wings,

he hears the dead singing..."

..."dead singing"?

Go on.

"With the burning sun about to descend,

the death of the Raven's a glorious end."

The Raven? It means you.

I don't get it!

Go on.

"Ruby-red blood on the

ground snowy-white,

the Raven's icy death

shows us the light."

Raven's icy death?

That means, I'm gonna die?

This part's torn off.

They're up there!

Okay!

We're just ordinary jewel thieves!

Gwen!

No! We have to help her!

"Ruby-red blood on the

ground snowy-white,

the Raven's icy death

shows us the light."

You promised me

unconditional allegiance!

You cannot escape me!

Was that all you've got?

Do you have any more circus tricks?

Ha, ha, ha, ...

Then, bring in the girl

and I'll tell you everything!

Wake up, you shouldn't sleep.

What are you doing here?

How did you get in here?

I play here.

My older brother took me here.

Aren't you cold?

No.

Tell me how to get out?

You need a key.

Don't you have one?

But, Lucy said that you did.

There, you see?

I want an explanation.

Have you found Gwendolyn?

Isn't she with you?

What happened?

We have to find her!

Mr. George, come with me!

Inform Falk de Villiers.

To the observatory, quick!

She has hypothermia.

Her vital signs

are at a minimum, I'm afraid.

Find Gideon

and keep him away from here.

"The Raven's icy death",

that's what the prophecy foretold.

Should we let her go to asleep?

Have you found Gwendolyn?

Where is she?

She's ice cold.

We have to warm her up.

Don't just stand around!

We have to help her!

Doctor White!

Besides hypothermia...

...there's a laceration on her head.

She has concussion...

...some contusions, as well.

What matters is how quickly...

...she awakes.

She won't die,

she's stronger than you think.

This will have consequences!

You can rest assured that those

consequences will rest on your head!

I'm will tell

the Inner Circle everything.

Come on. She needs you.

Be with her.

Stay with me.

I need you.

Gideon?

I was afraid you wouldn't make it.

In my mind I pictured this

a lot more fun that it is.

Actually, it is a lot of fun.

There are some wild parties

back in the 1800's.

You'll see.

I saw us...

We were at a ball,

wearing great wigs.

And did you see how we found ourselves

in danger, because you can't dance?

I could probably teach you,

I'm a good dancer.

Or would I first have to duel with

maybe a boyfriend or something?

Dancing with me

is more dangerous than any duel.

But, not for me.

What if...

What if the missing piece of

the prophecy is even worse?

No matter what it says...

...it's in our hands.

I'll take care of you, Gwendolyn.

Oh! You're awake!

What a relief, Gwendolyn.

How are you?

Is there anything in the annals about...

...a 16-year-old girl punching the Count

in the face, really hard?

Ah, well the Count could have

kept such an incident as that secret.

Stay strong, Gwendolyn.

The future isn't written yet.

Here. It's blurry and a little dark,

but, whatever.

Incredible!

A photo from the 18th century!

You should really take ton of these!

Except, Mr. Whitman has killed

my time travel article.

He said I've got an overactive

imagination and need counceling. Hello!

Whatever!

As long as you're okay.

Leslie, ready to go?

Just a sec!

Oh, and another thing...

There's more?

What is it?

Okay, listen.

The Order is going to buy you

the most amazing gown in London.

Awesome!

I've got to go. See you.

How lovely...

Lucy's gown.

Come,

there's something I want to show you.

Grandpa Lucas?

I like that picture.

And?

"Hic rhodos hic salta."

"Show what you can really do."

Our family's motto.

Then I'll show them.

You were born under a lucky star,

Gwendolyn.

That's...

Him? That's Robert,

your grandfather's little brother.

So sad! He fell from a window at

the Temple as a child.

I think I understand

"the magic of the Raven".

You have a handsome date.

Go on.

If he makes her unhappy,

I'll kill him...

...secret Order or not.

I don't get how she did it!

I thought Charlotte would be his date.

You're not the only ones

who underestimated her.

It's not a date, okay! It's research

for the school newspaper.

I warned you.

You are driving me insane, Gwendolyn!

What else did you expect

from an average girl like me?

You are not average, Gwendolyn Shepherd.

I didn't quite catch what you were saying.

You don't need any magic

to be special in these eyes.

Gideon better keep his

hands off Gwendolyn.

She could really use a protector.

I have a feeling that

we'll see them again.

Yes... It's only just begun.

Don't turn around. There are two behind us.

Run!

You ready?

I'm ready if you are.
