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.
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI3YamNqk3
Edward: Jade! I was playing hide and seek with Liam. Join us!
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IBlcqsW69
Me: Uh, sure. Who will count?
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZOsp0KRMs
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?
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGz80vW5J30
As it slipped in between every corner of his body, he started wobbling. A lot.
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CUhi3LcEz
Liam: Bitch, what did you do??
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmq6J6pFKi
Edward: leave her alone! She's only 12! Here, give me a hand.
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdxW2OoPMY
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.
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl3mujuhxB
Me: LIAM! I am SO so sorry! All I wanted was—
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRFnfqslbY
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.
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG3JTm83TJ
Jade: ... What?

I stare at Liam and I'm speechless. But he’s not. "Jade! How have you been? Make any more scrambled eggs?"
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO4tokS5ID
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?"
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuudnaZ6Khy
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.
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZB0WXOg02
"How does it feel, Jade? To fall?" He takes a step towards me.
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXY8RLseUT
"I see you have an impeccable memory, dear Liam." That's all I can say. What else could I say?
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H5vyAv5O8
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?"
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfabln6lBD
"'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!
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4N6EPxrI9
"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—"
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFadLLW2dTG
"You're a sociopath," I interrupt.
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXblkDO5YK
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.
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn8Nh1TVHK
"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.
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjMCqcbGHp
"One bullet, one life. Right Jade?" He takes a step closer to me and cocks the gun.
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNfzhkg7Ze
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?
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdeZqyZmf0
"Goodbye, Jade," he whispers to my face, a hint of blood in his breath.
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUS9zxYkXM
He shoots. But I'm not dead. HE is. 706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OCV6rRWNE
