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.
710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7Izt6UUt1
Edward: Jade! I was playing hide and seek with Liam. Join us!
710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9TxL9Fzaj
Me: Uh, sure. Who will count?
710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBlnY5YwTc
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?
710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpxbg2Uq45
As it slipped in between every corner of his body, he started wobbling. A lot.
710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMtHMRVehF
Liam: Bitch, what did you do??
710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppVEBbhCJS
Edward: leave her alone! She's only 12! Here, give me a hand.
710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaazO4DLBBt
As Liam removed his icky hand from the step he was holding on to, he tried to step a little higher, but he slipped.
710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEXJVlQ0AX
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.
710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq57B9Q2PNl
Me: LIAM! I am SO so sorry! All I wanted was—
710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHmSrt2jKl
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.
710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcP0PebfqA
Jade: ... What?

I stare at Liam and I'm speechless. But he’s not. "Jade! How have you been? Make any more scrambled eggs?"
710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHefY1nxLD
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?"
710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGJP5uwJPR
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.
710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r6YWYjM7d
"How does it feel, Jade? To fall?" He takes a step towards me.
710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0MmiJJWwm
"I see you have an impeccable memory, dear Liam." That's all I can say. What else could I say?
710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6Xxt9iCXA
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?"
710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr4Zmoyxzq
"'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!
710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UrqqgNjo9
"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—"
710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQWaijwiqg
"You're a sociopath," I interrupt.
710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySVuSXrDG4
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.
710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX1bVQooyi
"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.
710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydC53oOzwc
"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.
710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEpCfme3Ri
"One bullet, one life. Right Jade?" He takes a step closer to me and cocks the gun.
710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKGXO8exXa
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?
710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB08OcGDJtX
"Goodbye, Jade," he whispers to my face, a hint of blood in his breath.
710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mEYgI29u7
He shoots. But I'm not dead. HE is. 710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj69KzYg15u
