My Anchor (Lara x Fem!reader)

First of all, thank you for giving this a shot! I know the description didn't tell you much but you'll understand everything as the story progresses.

This is enemies to lovers book so for those who don't like that kind of stuff I'm sorry.

Also there's gonna be a lot of Norse mythology but I'll explain as much as I can!

My goal is to make this book seem like another Tomb Raider game so it's not going to be all about Lara and reader moments.

But I hope you enjoy nonetheless! Be patient y'all, there might even be smut ;))

P.S: For the sake of the story your last name is Hartvigsen

Y/N's P.O.V

I held the pistol tightly, aiming at the british girl infront of me. -"Stop right there!" I commanded. But I could hear cracking from underneath us. -"If we stay here, we're gonna fall." She said and made a few light steps towards the rock wall next to us. -"I said, don't move!" I told her again. -"Hartvigsen! Shoot!" I heard through my radio. I straightened up and heard even more cracking of wood. Croft was just staring back at me. After all these years, I got her....why is it so hard to just kill her? Snap out of it damnit! Just as I was about to take the shot the platform underneath us broke and I missed.

We both started falling. I hit my head when I fell on a small edge. Croft managed to slam one of her climbing axes into the mountain. The other axe fell right next to me and I just managed to grab it when the ledge broke. I held on the axe as I tried slamming it in the mountain too. Not long after it worked and I found myself hanging at it. I heard a scream from above me and soon got pushed down by Croft who somehow fell from her spot. And when she hit me we both started falling. I saw a water under us and so I just braced myself and hoped that it's deep..... Just when I thought this day can't get any worse.

—Few hours earlier—

I heard a faint voice as if someone was speaking from under a blanket. But after a little while I heard it more clearly. -"Soldier, report!" It was Seargant Howl. Only then I realized I overslept and shot up from my bed. His voice was getting closer and closer to my tent. -"Where is the rookie?" He asked. I was trying so hard to get my boots on when I heard my friend Nathan reply to him. -"Sir. She's...still in her tent, sir!" Ughr, such a friend. But I guess I gave him enough trouble already....And here goes another one.

-"Step aside!" He ordered Nathan and I could see his shadow move out the Seargant way. Fuck me! He walked into the tent just when I put on my jacket, though I didn't have time to zip it as I had to salute. -"Hmpf, late again Hartvigsen. I'm not surprised." He said, though keeping a poker face. -"Sir. My apologies. It won't happen again, sir." I replied. -"No it won't rookie. You should be grateful that the General even let you join. Your father was a good soldier. We expected the same from you." He added. -"Sir. Yes, sir!" I replied.

-"Get properly dressed, rookie. The General wants to speak with you. The rest of you, get to your guard post! Croft was spotted this morning. We can't allow her to find the Mead before we do. Move out!" Seargant Howl commanded as he left my tent.

-"How much did I screw up?" I asked Nathan when everybody else left. -"Well, we did tell you to get up four times and you still didn't listen so..." -"A lot." I finished for him. -"Yeah." He nodded. -"Fuck...Well, better see the General." I told him. -"Good luck." He replied and left my tent too. So much for trying to not cause trouble....

And so I finished dressing up and headed out of my tent to meet with the General, who has for some reason requested to speak with me in the morning. As soon as I left my tent I could already feel the cold wrap around me tightly. I mean, it's Norway of course it's gonna be cold. We're lucky it's not winter season. Snow would complicate things. Father told me what it was like in Siberia. I would prabably freeze to death there.
