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.
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZpK9Tz6Ar
Edward: Jade! I was playing hide and seek with Liam. Join us!
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUT9kpcMiQ
Me: Uh, sure. Who will count?
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEvgKUGKdx
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?
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDPrFkZL7E
As it slipped in between every corner of his body, he started wobbling. A lot.

Liam: Bitch, what did you do??
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkduRnYEI8S
Edward: leave her alone! She's only 12! Here, give me a hand.
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKVGTBVLUI
As Liam removed his icky hand from the step he was holding on to, he tried to step a little higher, but he slipped.
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwu6lFxDq6
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.
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKmRrJJQ0j
Me: LIAM! I am SO so sorry! All I wanted was—
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKG34RJyL3
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.
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzL8VZDJhH
Jade: ... What?

I stare at Liam and I'm speechless. But he’s not. "Jade! How have you been? Make any more scrambled eggs?"
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pMIZW0NtL
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?"
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FMYEIAj1x
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.
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjt0Plzmxo
"How does it feel, Jade? To fall?" He takes a step towards me.
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cRDXv4Njr
"I see you have an impeccable memory, dear Liam." That's all I can say. What else could I say?
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHZVzrirIX
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!
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRq4625bmQ
"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—"
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZeSPWTLkC
"You're a sociopath," I interrupt.
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP55zfofDU
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.
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Sk7ljGVpL
"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.
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX0WB8xllj
"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.
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBvkzmM42R
"One bullet, one life. Right Jade?" He takes a step closer to me and cocks the gun.

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?
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx1LR3oD71
"Goodbye, Jade," he whispers to my face, a hint of blood in his breath.
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVm1ROisFr
He shoots. But I'm not dead. HE is. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggvwj3x3UV
