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.
708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDkYpCyPPX
Edward: Jade! I was playing hide and seek with Liam. Join us!
708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65gUnKEMov
Me: Uh, sure. Who will count?
708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANmhLjvE2E
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?
708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqb99JCuZD
As it slipped in between every corner of his body, he started wobbling. A lot.

Liam: Bitch, what did you do??
708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGj22NbgK9
Edward: leave her alone! She's only 12! Here, give me a hand.
708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTK3pYAO9fL
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.
708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UQwbxsORQ
Me: LIAM! I am SO so sorry! All I wanted was—
708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k7Q2Tluhc
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.
708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uLODI1NiP
Jade: ... What?

I stare at Liam and I'm speechless. But he’s not. "Jade! How have you been? Make any more scrambled eggs?"
708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO6mcFxqsV
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?"
708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHI5u49RKA
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.
708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wrgf8s0w4
"How does it feel, Jade? To fall?" He takes a step towards me.
708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKerImQnBP
"I see you have an impeccable memory, dear Liam." That's all I can say. What else could I say?
708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWENwjzCDsJ
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?"
708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7mCForP8O
"'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!
708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaKkDIQpGz
"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—"
708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpiSMcuvAU
"You're a sociopath," I interrupt.
708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdPrG6h6t7
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.
708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJuPSpskLH
"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.
708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVBRG5F0PN
"One bullet, one life. Right Jade?" He takes a step closer to me and cocks the gun.
708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVxkMjFzfE
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?
708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1i99jymB1
"Goodbye, Jade," he whispers to my face, a hint of blood in his breath.
708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmCFszDWWc
He shoots. But I'm not dead. HE is. 708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNFc5OO8JP
