Forgot to mention this

So again on the book series I am reading...I forgot to mention one interesting detail. Whats unique about the vampyres in the story is that they are just regular people who are suddenly "marked" meaning they are tattooed out of the blue which shows that they are marked to be vamps and they have to go to a special school in order to learn about being a vamp and while their body completes the vamp change. Some "fledglings" as they are called, don't complete the change. Their body rejects it and they die. Weird, huh? Yeah, I thought so. Anyway, what I am getting at is these newly marked people get a tattoo of a crescent moon on their forehead! yes, on their forehead. Isn't it interesting to note that Revelation 4:20b says, "and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands." Is it just ironic that the vamps are marked on their forehead's or was the author trying to make a statement here. Especially since this mark was to let others know "what side they were on" so to speak. Another thing I noticed is that all the vamps activities took place at night. Their school day started at 8pm and ended at 3am. That brings me to another verse, John 3:19 says,"And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil." I knew those vamps were up to no good!
