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.
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYdBRE7rF6
Edward: Jade! I was playing hide and seek with Liam. Join us!
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2EekDYm8n
Me: Uh, sure. Who will count?
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOr5KKYruJ
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?
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg0WzVYDc8
As it slipped in between every corner of his body, he started wobbling. A lot.
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoo50YZg3L8
Liam: Bitch, what did you do??
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPIJfNb67s
Edward: leave her alone! She's only 12! Here, give me a hand.
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtwgMDYk4V
As Liam removed his icky hand from the step he was holding on to, he tried to step a little higher, but he slipped.
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bt8DHQKKI
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.
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm38RDQKUT
Me: LIAM! I am SO so sorry! All I wanted was—
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz6wN29j3N
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.
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfvepQVBSH
Jade: ... What?

I stare at Liam and I'm speechless. But he’s not. "Jade! How have you been? Make any more scrambled eggs?"
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnD0MRGu9K
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?"
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71Kb7aILPn
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.
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡege01aNQRc
"How does it feel, Jade? To fall?" He takes a step towards me.
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BGdf1dOfb
"I see you have an impeccable memory, dear Liam." That's all I can say. What else could I say?
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl5phNEz3Y
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?"
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgHJRBdvMH
"'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!
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJLHPWjQq0
"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—"
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZ8I1vwtJj
"You're a sociopath," I interrupt.
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3yKO37mlo
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.
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg4Kl9HJaU
"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.
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGKK9gSLdh
"One bullet, one life. Right Jade?" He takes a step closer to me and cocks the gun.
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxnNWgRnl7
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?
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozgjOCCgsd
"Goodbye, Jade," he whispers to my face, a hint of blood in his breath.
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SdHBUi9ay
He shoots. But I'm not dead. HE is. 704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd8VBpDLXT
