Chapter 7.5
JeremyPOV
I was falling. The ground reappeared above me, trapping me in the hell hole that I was falling in. I saw a river. Hoping that Percy could help me out, I decided to aim towards it.
Big Mistake. That was the river Cocytus. The river of misery. I had sad thoughts and memories suddenly rushing into my head.
*Flashback*
Whack! A whip cracked, as Jeremy recieved one out of nearly a thousand whippings. Whack! This is so miserable, he thought. Whack! Someday I'm going to get out of here. Whack!
*Flashback Ends*
*Flashback*
He was in a room. GET UP! He groaned. Jeremy, GET UP! He was starving...
*Flashback Ends*
I remembered Annabeth. Jenny. And all the other missing demigods. I crawled up and out of the river. I looked around. Ok... Wow... In front of me was a dark building. I suddenly felt scared. Being in Tartarus had gotten to me. I was in Tartarus, and with not much of a way to get out. This was scary.
I saw a demigod walking out of the building. "Hey! Help me get out of here!" I cried. He looked at me. Oh my gods. He wore the helm of darkness. The one thing everyone thought I took. "Get out of here. We don't need you." The demigod said. That voice was unmistakably familiar. "Clovis?" "Shh. I'm spying on these rebels. You wanna get out of Tartarus, right? Take the second left on this corridor. There's a portal to the Camp. Quickly, the next patrol group will be here soon."
I ran through the corridor, running straight into the portal, and ended up inside a cave in Zeus' Fist. I ran straight to Cabin Three. Percy needed to know this.

"So you had a chance to save them, and you didn't. You're lucky I'm not Clarisse." Percy said. "I'll tell Chiron and we'll formulate a plan. Thanks for the help. Near Cocytus, right? I should be able to get there with Nico. We may need your help. You're the only person who's been there. Good job."
AN: Yay, I filled the gap! Read on, fellows...
