How to make path turn into two different paths

[Delightful_soldier98C6]

Here, I draw inner and outer shell (turtle). yet, the other path got connected to one of the inner lines. I use my mouse to mark the inner line.

Is there a way to get them separated and not one line ?

Select the anchor where you want to separate them and click the scissors button in the control panel.

To make this not happen at all: with the pen tool click some distance apart, and while the mouse is still down press the spacebar and move the point to its location.
