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.
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62KIffdXh5
Edward: Jade! I was playing hide and seek with Liam. Join us!
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4Vq3JQKlD
Me: Uh, sure. Who will count?
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8BM5InzyC
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?
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47kg51ZHCO
As it slipped in between every corner of his body, he started wobbling. A lot.
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvebnBIBWSQ
Liam: Bitch, what did you do??
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXhBSgXnRH
Edward: leave her alone! She's only 12! Here, give me a hand.
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9fsfbgH4l
As Liam removed his icky hand from the step he was holding on to, he tried to step a little higher, but he slipped.
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIxYNT1hbd
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.
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM83zlRmw5
Me: LIAM! I am SO so sorry! All I wanted was—
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAzwA9gvnT
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.
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzKHx8tcBl
Jade: ... What?

I stare at Liam and I'm speechless. But he’s not. "Jade! How have you been? Make any more scrambled eggs?"
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2pBYVJQVI
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?"
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDWuU57O5U
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.
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDEaPA6gPh
"How does it feel, Jade? To fall?" He takes a step towards me.
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtioo6iQmGN
"I see you have an impeccable memory, dear Liam." That's all I can say. What else could I say?
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mTqfYSzVX
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?"
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB0X2FN86v
"'I'll make sure you will regret everything you've ever done in your life to me.'"
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPdpC8f13p
"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!
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOyDv1cAQU
"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—"
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrE4x6hrCZl
"You're a sociopath," I interrupt.
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp31euztAu
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.
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP5CZWRPvp
"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.
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKP4tw8EMd
"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.
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiB0dB7ASz
"One bullet, one life. Right Jade?" He takes a step closer to me and cocks the gun.
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKoJiO76xh
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?
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmeuQ7nhcc
"Goodbye, Jade," he whispers to my face, a hint of blood in his breath.
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVHrMrONNN
He shoots. But I'm not dead. HE is. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDmnhhuwI0
