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.
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuM90D10Mo
Edward: Jade! I was playing hide and seek with Liam. Join us!
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1EjHPFk9l
Me: Uh, sure. Who will count?
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM65PQypelf
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?
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoBatJ2gBN
As it slipped in between every corner of his body, he started wobbling. A lot.
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd3G5tAxNH
Liam: Bitch, what did you do??
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCMHAVGfUZ
Edward: leave her alone! She's only 12! Here, give me a hand.
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4yLa1PqVe
As Liam removed his icky hand from the step he was holding on to, he tried to step a little higher, but he slipped.
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7MwzNXQgM
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.
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlDtSupuFv
Me: LIAM! I am SO so sorry! All I wanted was—
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk2oXi7Kn6
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.
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWZUpFyEPN
Jade: ... What?

I stare at Liam and I'm speechless. But he’s not. "Jade! How have you been? Make any more scrambled eggs?"
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEbJQgSHd2
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?"
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUDNVdKs57
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.
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8zoROousr
"How does it feel, Jade? To fall?" He takes a step towards me.
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtlAZwpes2
"I see you have an impeccable memory, dear Liam." That's all I can say. What else could I say?
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4xsxFmuxJ
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?"
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAibpYJm09k
"'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!
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NbpQDWcKx
"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—"
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPVO9UqApH
"You're a sociopath," I interrupt.
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaPfWs8rE5
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.
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2Mg1einPR
"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.
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyxLuAxH59
"One bullet, one life. Right Jade?" He takes a step closer to me and cocks the gun.
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKgMDywLIA
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?
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgfmWH6GU5
"Goodbye, Jade," he whispers to my face, a hint of blood in his breath.
642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqsTafMpfn
He shoots. But I'm not dead. HE is. 642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpAM6T7dDC
