"All that I'm living for,
All that I'm dying for,
All that I can't ignore alone at night.
All that I'm wanted for,
Although I wanted more
Lock the last open door,
My ghosts are gaining on me.

Should it hurt to love you?
Should I feel like I do?
Should I lock the last open door?
My ghosts are gaining on me."

_{Evanescence - All That I'm Living For}


Fanart inspired to the front cover Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer.
Forth and last submission of the Twilight vs All That I'm Living For series.
Sorry for submitting it a couple of days too late, but this was one of the most difficult pieces I've done, and I can consider it one of my major photomanipulations. I'd never worked at this level before. I know it's not perfect, but this was really the best I could do. And I'm sorry there is nothing red...

Now that I've read the book, I can understand better the concept behing the original cover - Bella standing for her doughter - but I think mine is appropriate too: at the beginning, it was Edward kicking Jacob's butt, but now they are the Cullens and the purity of their intents, symbolized by the white king, against the Voltury and the greed for power which is basically what moves them, the black one. And then, Renesmee on the background.
Note: I'm not cosplaying Edward Cullen, I only want to represent the concept of the book.

About the connections I found between the lyrics and the text (if you haven't read the book, this may contain spoilers):
- Lines 1-2: I think it describes Bella's feelings toward Edward and Nessie pretty well.
- Line 3: Bella's nightmares that forsee the upcoming events.
- Line 4: Rosalie wants bella only because of the baby she's carrying.
- Line 5: Bella cares about Renesmee's life more than about herself. She wants to have more than Edward, for her happyness.
- Lines 6-7: See lines 10-11.
- Lines 8-9: Bella's feelings toward Edward and Renesmee durning her pregnancy.
- 10-11: Finally, Bella closes the last entrance for the ghosts that menace her happyness: the Volturi.

About the heart pendent brush, which is from The Open Door booklet, it is because Edward gave her a heart-shaped diamond pendent for her bracelet (I know mine looks more like a silver with embossed things on it, but that's not the point) and because it reminds me of eternal love.
