Liam is Luke's fraternal twin, meaning they look nothing alike. In fact, Liam looks a lot more like Edward than he looks like Luke.

Liam has a history. A reputation. He's been living in the dark for a while though. He left town after Luke was arrested. He was no more evil than Luke.

A flashback comes to mind.
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA6NQGrC5A
Edward: Jade! I was playing hide and seek with Liam. Join us!
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX7s0MP380
Me: Uh, sure. Who will count?
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3usuLBjuE
Liam: ME! Ok go hide guys! 1, 2, 3... 45678910 READYORNOT, HEREICOME!

I watched him run straight up to the treehouse knowing that I was there. As he was climbing up, I had a little surprise waiting for him.

After his hand was inches from mine, I poured down a bucket of raw eggs on him. 5 whole gallons. Do you know how many eggs I needed to crack?
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfADoekGdL
As it slipped in between every corner of his body, he started wobbling. A lot.
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHEZkkh9fw
Liam: Bitch, what did you do??
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnctvIPMra5
Edward: leave her alone! She's only 12! Here, give me a hand.
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviALbvclnL
As Liam removed his icky hand from the step he was holding on to, he tried to step a little higher, but he slipped.
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfChiBblUH
I looked down in horror as he was falling. Closer to the ground a little bit more each time my heart pounded against my chest. Then he hit the grass with a 'thud', looking like a motionless rag doll.

In the end, he needed a prosthetic leg; when he hit the ground, his leg was banged against some construction thing; the memory is blurry. Maybe it was bricks. Or a handheld machine. I don't know. Whatever it was, the impact was big.

Later when I visited the hospital, I felt extremely guilty.
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEzGvOYqvD
Me: LIAM! I am SO so sorry! All I wanted was—
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jdpIhrsbV
Liam: Jade, don't worry. I'll get you back. After the death of Edward, once you're defenseless, I'll make sure of something.
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQdF0qB05E
Jade: ... What?

I stare at Liam and I'm speechless. But he’s not. "Jade! How have you been? Make any more scrambled eggs?"
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe51JdL2rIP
Is he holding a grudge against me? Well, I don't blame him. "Nah, I think I've cracked enough eggs for a lifetime. How have you been? Run in any marathons lately?"
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsVmmmdwcE
Shit. Wrong thing to say. He violently grabs my arms and pushes me back, causing me to stumble and fall on top of something hard. Ah. My backpack. You know, the one containing my precious gun.
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0ry0tZA5J
"How does it feel, Jade? To fall?" He takes a step towards me.
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZdTv9AxS3
"I see you have an impeccable memory, dear Liam." That's all I can say. What else could I say?
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsC89Dng7u
He chuckles at this. Then he speaks. "And how is your memory, my sweet Jade? Let's see. Do you remember what my last words to you were, the day in the hospital about four years ago?"
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAjBtD1hl7
"'I'll make sure you will regret everything you've ever done in your life to me.'"

"Let me explain to you everything: the whole idea of putting you through the tests you were supposed to go through was actually to your benefit. For example, you've turned into a murderer! Three men down in 24 hours! The Old Jade would never do that!
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBfc09mX5p
"The whole thing of you killing my brother Luke? Well I wasn't expecting that, in all honesty. But no worries! It was taken care of. I needed to get rid of him anyways. And then—"
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV7PAFXaZ1
"You're a sociopath," I interrupt.
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DxFJ3DTgC
He tilts his head, looking beyond me, considering this. "I suppose I am. And I could just kill you right now, couldn't I?" He smiles evilly.
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDlNhEvGWF
"What do you want?! Why DID you put me through this? Why Lawrence? Why me?" I ask frantically, remembering that Lawrence is waiting on me.
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7SdiRjf5m
"Payback. Payback. For the love of this world, I wanted to— oh why am I speaking?" He picks me up, and I realized I was still on the floor. He reaches for my backpack and grabs my gun. Crap.
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIsixOznPk
"One bullet, one life. Right Jade?" He takes a step closer to me and cocks the gun.
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD1JL7VXBK
Since this is the end, I just shut my eyes tight and try to pray to God for help, but who am I kidding? Praying to a God I don't believe in for help in a helpless situation?
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmt72WiGQW
"Goodbye, Jade," he whispers to my face, a hint of blood in his breath.
672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3q23XEKSG
He shoots. But I'm not dead. HE is. 672Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeavsXeptcK
