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.
705Please respect copyright.PENANAVUfNLFU0ed
Edward: Jade! I was playing hide and seek with Liam. Join us!
705Please respect copyright.PENANABnr1sUtlW7
Me: Uh, sure. Who will count?
705Please respect copyright.PENANArEZey2gIOi
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?
705Please respect copyright.PENANAVcxMOrPhDx
As it slipped in between every corner of his body, he started wobbling. A lot.
705Please respect copyright.PENANAvBTqD9WKJI
Liam: Bitch, what did you do??
705Please respect copyright.PENANAIbXQzaaDnm
Edward: leave her alone! She's only 12! Here, give me a hand.
705Please respect copyright.PENANA5wzHWkMfKr
As Liam removed his icky hand from the step he was holding on to, he tried to step a little higher, but he slipped.
705Please respect copyright.PENANAoLA5tj9gQ9
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.
705Please respect copyright.PENANACfYRc1alxC
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.
705Please respect copyright.PENANAcmPBfcPirF
Me: LIAM! I am SO so sorry! All I wanted was—
705Please respect copyright.PENANAf6o1n6rJws
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.
705Please respect copyright.PENANAkisuXRLMaI
Jade: ... What?

I stare at Liam and I'm speechless. But he’s not. "Jade! How have you been? Make any more scrambled eggs?"
705Please respect copyright.PENANAcshq7TPixX
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?"
705Please respect copyright.PENANAnAIe1ITZWX
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.
705Please respect copyright.PENANAT2549lGaow
"How does it feel, Jade? To fall?" He takes a step towards me.
705Please respect copyright.PENANAqbzT9SHVRw
"I see you have an impeccable memory, dear Liam." That's all I can say. What else could I say?
705Please respect copyright.PENANADnYxp6SFtd
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?"
705Please respect copyright.PENANAnfL5g96F5O
"'I'll make sure you will regret everything you've ever done in your life to me.'"
705Please respect copyright.PENANA0eNuLo3CXc
"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!
705Please respect copyright.PENANA88L50az2Aa
"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—"
705Please respect copyright.PENANAAE0gnVx7Qq
"You're a sociopath," I interrupt.
705Please respect copyright.PENANAOTCvkoZD9Z
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.
705Please respect copyright.PENANAtqPGKBt69B
"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.
705Please respect copyright.PENANAd5gJzZV5s0
"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.
705Please respect copyright.PENANAxOf91qyRo1
"One bullet, one life. Right Jade?" He takes a step closer to me and cocks the gun.
705Please respect copyright.PENANAPMTANWZ27D
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?
705Please respect copyright.PENANAExRbh4Icl4
"Goodbye, Jade," he whispers to my face, a hint of blood in his breath.
705Please respect copyright.PENANAoP7GT7HN9p
He shoots. But I'm not dead. HE is. 705Please respect copyright.PENANAzeyf5a3jc3
