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.
750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBdwmBZBrV
Edward: Jade! I was playing hide and seek with Liam. Join us!
750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5WyY0XiFM
Me: Uh, sure. Who will count?
750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN00Djtlfz
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?
750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HMzoK9TRQ
As it slipped in between every corner of his body, he started wobbling. A lot.
750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLB35XQc9p
Liam: Bitch, what did you do??
750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5nXa6JkGb
Edward: leave her alone! She's only 12! Here, give me a hand.
750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UOyzBbGb6
As Liam removed his icky hand from the step he was holding on to, he tried to step a little higher, but he slipped.
750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRu4VsTlrS
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.
750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijxZpPvy0u
Me: LIAM! I am SO so sorry! All I wanted was—
750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjpfay2JlQ
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.
750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1X8csq8yw
Jade: ... What?

I stare at Liam and I'm speechless. But he’s not. "Jade! How have you been? Make any more scrambled eggs?"
750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyaziQ1KxC
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?"
750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt3kqxOaPx
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.
750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1du7KtnK7
"How does it feel, Jade? To fall?" He takes a step towards me.
750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR9mgafmcI
"I see you have an impeccable memory, dear Liam." That's all I can say. What else could I say?
750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNWpXutVUE
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?"

"'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!
750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz55NA5Yzb
"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—"
750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsCgoYz6rD
"You're a sociopath," I interrupt.
750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBmYa7Qgwg
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.
750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmYlGeJRxx
"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.

"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.
750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqcfUNGkbC
"One bullet, one life. Right Jade?" He takes a step closer to me and cocks the gun.
750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6KjgU3TNT
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?
750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbt6mhyGth
"Goodbye, Jade," he whispers to my face, a hint of blood in his breath.
750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBwD36erJD
He shoots. But I'm not dead. HE is. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTawcOHVtJ
