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.
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGUFw1tE0b
Edward: Jade! I was playing hide and seek with Liam. Join us!
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnU3IOLg5g
Me: Uh, sure. Who will count?
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczf1Z86A7t
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.

Liam: Bitch, what did you do??
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkWfNxmBi1
Edward: leave her alone! She's only 12! Here, give me a hand.
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NHilwgJhG
As Liam removed his icky hand from the step he was holding on to, he tried to step a little higher, but he slipped.

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.
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBYvRRLmog
Me: LIAM! I am SO so sorry! All I wanted was—
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1fSNxx3po
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.
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaJEgMbViD
Jade: ... What?

I stare at Liam and I'm speechless. But he’s not. "Jade! How have you been? Make any more scrambled eggs?"
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFtkHICqH9
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?"
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT25jg0l8D
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.
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpNBXB8WjA
"How does it feel, Jade? To fall?" He takes a step towards me.
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsVWHg7ryr
"I see you have an impeccable memory, dear Liam." That's all I can say. What else could I say?
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1Bs9k0IIc
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?"
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRoShjpIfB
"'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!

"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—"
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxwHflmXxU
"You're a sociopath," I interrupt.
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ovBQk7FVY
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.
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJyAFx4eps
"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.
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGZSeI6h8D
"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.
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v5zqZ2Tta
"One bullet, one life. Right Jade?" He takes a step closer to me and cocks the gun.
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKn764fxNO
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?
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JrX8M20wu
"Goodbye, Jade," he whispers to my face, a hint of blood in his breath.
703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP83Zs4qeUo
He shoots. But I'm not dead. HE is. 703Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc5hFRDLzW
