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.
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiEX2p3H2B
Edward: Jade! I was playing hide and seek with Liam. Join us!
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXXFjNqcp6
Me: Uh, sure. Who will count?
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DcqbyEscd
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?

As it slipped in between every corner of his body, he started wobbling. A lot.
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPFC3i3KJc
Liam: Bitch, what did you do??
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wbPVPloGc
Edward: leave her alone! She's only 12! Here, give me a hand.
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIktNmRB1K
As Liam removed his icky hand from the step he was holding on to, he tried to step a little higher, but he slipped.
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSkHygBUnZ
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.
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpWnaaRd9G
Me: LIAM! I am SO so sorry! All I wanted was—
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudU0kJNrSz
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.
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNsEvNFtjg
Jade: ... What?

I stare at Liam and I'm speechless. But he’s not. "Jade! How have you been? Make any more scrambled eggs?"
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXG36AdAdi
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?"
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpjDxX49Ao
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.
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek4KmoFyqk
"How does it feel, Jade? To fall?" He takes a step towards me.
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvTWoEgPj7
"I see you have an impeccable memory, dear Liam." That's all I can say. What else could I say?
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdV80hmo1m
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?"
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxY47mZWjr
"'I'll make sure you will regret everything you've ever done in your life to me.'"
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvCkpf39uc
"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!
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcgYRU1WSs
"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—"
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcHpOkC0d3
"You're a sociopath," I interrupt.
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbpt3oc517
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.
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkfEA7meIX
"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.
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK3qAjxFYz
"One bullet, one life. Right Jade?" He takes a step closer to me and cocks the gun.
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum5twKLEj2
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?
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgANO9WtSyH
"Goodbye, Jade," he whispers to my face, a hint of blood in his breath.
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL8r4pVg2q
He shoots. But I'm not dead. HE is. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUMZOwcU0p
