A war on two fronts

Chapter 30: Smoke and Mirrors

It passed two days since our heroes freed Miles from Eichen, but Scarka was still inside of him. To know how was the situation, Jay, Kira, and Pawa visited Dunbar's house to see if was any change. Jay sensed something was wrong with Miles and asked Pawa to test him. Pawa agreed to test Miles and explained to Miles what the procedure was. Scarka looked at them with interest and saw how took Miles from the ear. When Pawa finished, Miles fell unconscious on the carpet and Jay checked behind the ear to see the result. After this, Liam took Miles from the carpet; put it near Mike. Mike took it, and put his head over his chest, holding him in his arms.

"What represents this sign behind the ear?" wondered Mike and rubbed Miles' hair.

"That is the sign for somebody who is not himself," responded Kira confused about the decision of Jay. "Why do you ask Pawa to test Miles when we know Scarka is in him?"

"As a Skinwalker, I meet many spirits, and from what I can see Scarka is mad, but not stupid. Even now when entering contact with this zoo, is confident," answered Jay. "If you want Miles safe, take Scarka out from him and break the bond because something bad is happening."

"Miles' soul is clean and Scarka's influence is small," shared Pawa and looked at Scarka. "In the side where Scarka is in control, I sense something hidden."

"What do you hide there? Your secret weapon?" wondered Ahsoka and threw an orange passing through him falling on a plate. "You will regret each second of your life for what you have done."

"Master Jedi, I regret nothing and your plod is the one who blocks the ninja to do their job," responded Scarka. "You should teach your padawan the manners."

"Actually, Mike knows the manners and is no need for Ahsoka teach him anymore," spoke Alin and showed Mike five. "You are a dirty slave of Attila, no more, no less."

"I realize how stupid we are, except Kira and the Oni," realized Theo and grabbed his phone to call somebody. "I know how to get Scarka out from Miles and look who opens his eyes."

"Still, is not right what you do to the child," complained Smoulder about Jay's actions.

"As long we keep Miles safe and out of ham, I agree," informed Berty and gave a biscuit to Smoulder.

"What happens? Why am I here?" wondered Miles.

"Stay there," advised Mike and held Miles from his hand. "You will be fine and from how I look at Theo, he figures out something."

"Why do you call Corey?" wondered Liam and looked stupefied at Theo after realizing why. "I remember Corey pulled a wild hunt rider from the new generation in our world by accident. We can do the same thing with Scarka or at least try."

"That might work," informed Ahsoka. "Corey sees Scarka when making invisible near Sluagh and after that, Scarka shows his face."

"I guess you never expect such a thing," guessed Pawa and looked at the reaction of Scarka. "This zoo, or how you call it, has more secrets than you ever imagine."

"I admit, I am impressed, but this is not enough to stop me. A piece from me will remain in Miles as long as the bound is active," threatened Scarka and looked at Miles. "Still, if you get rid of me once in the end, Miles always will have the blood of his family on his hands."

"Not for a long idiot," warned Kira. "Some of us know exactly what Miles feels because we at a point in our life face such type of problems."

"What about the death of his mother?" asked Jay and looked at everybody stupefied because not understood the reaction.

"My friend, the death is not a problem," responded Scarka showing some signs of frustration.
