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.
714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakmoCZ29Yv
Edward: Jade! I was playing hide and seek with Liam. Join us!
714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM7I7ynU5O
Me: Uh, sure. Who will count?
714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHBqsSHNim
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?
714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWTCI7ZYY4
As it slipped in between every corner of his body, he started wobbling. A lot.
714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGvqXdp7TL
Liam: Bitch, what did you do??
714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4wAvBVTuD
Edward: leave her alone! She's only 12! Here, give me a hand.
714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2raqDqgOLm
As Liam removed his icky hand from the step he was holding on to, he tried to step a little higher, but he slipped.
714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gLJjLymdy
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.
714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX7qpOMj7g
Me: LIAM! I am SO so sorry! All I wanted was—
714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDXEVt5g92
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.
714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPneveo72R
Jade: ... What?

I stare at Liam and I'm speechless. But he’s not. "Jade! How have you been? Make any more scrambled eggs?"
714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogFtrBxOWP
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?"
714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJFa5gMkmH
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.
714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7ivz9DzYv
"How does it feel, Jade? To fall?" He takes a step towards me.
714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx2oRZjTZ7
"I see you have an impeccable memory, dear Liam." That's all I can say. What else could I say?
714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM0UKywjhX
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!
714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntvWPZYo1F
"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—"
714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrDdU7Lf6T
"You're a sociopath," I interrupt.
714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj26WUL6FI
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.
714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMkqyFkC42
"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.
714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kndIgpPCC
"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.
714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNx8a0Nz8X
"One bullet, one life. Right Jade?" He takes a step closer to me and cocks the gun.
714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4blvTC1G7
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?
714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vDS3L9ONX
"Goodbye, Jade," he whispers to my face, a hint of blood in his breath.
714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dBaSWNbtS
He shoots. But I'm not dead. HE is. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd11OXoyny
