Say Hello!

Chapter Three
No Not That!
Human's POV
With both hands outstretched, Sam made her desperate lunge for the simple item, if they opened it, not only would it complicate her life, she would have to explain for a few things… Tony the Tiger lifted it above his head, upper mandibles grinning to their fullest height, jumping like an idiot, she grit her teeth. "Give it back!"
Seeing, that he had no intention of handing it over, Sam sighed, gave him an annoyed look then sprang up, boosting herself upon Tony's braced leg, gripping his lifted arm and using the huge chest as a resting place for her hip, as she made another grab for the item of doom. This not only surprised the burnt orange Predator who she was climbing on, it apparently shocked the Elder to no end, because he started clicking like crazy and Tony the Tiger clicked right back.
An arm wrapped around Sam's waist, causing her to squeak and squirm, but still trying to get the item…
"Enough Ooman, if this prize is so important that you would make a pathetic attempt to wrestle Grinning Fangs, he will yield it to you…"
Turning her head, Sam groaned in embarrassment, pressed up against Tony the Tiger, this position did look highly suggestive. With one of her hands resting on his left shoulder, the other gripping his lifted right arm, her belly resting firmly against his ribs, a powerful arm wrapped around her waist…
"Hey did you just call him Grinning Fangs? Is that his name?" "Oh God…just call me captain obvious…" Once again, she wiggled, but the arm would not budge, instead it tightened slightly, shifting her to straddle his hip…like a little kid. The blush made Sam's face burn, and the so-called Grinning Fangs looked down at her smirking!
The Elder sighed and clicked his lower mandibles, "Because you risked your own life to help Grinning Fangs and I, you may know my name…" The Elder did not look very willing to reveal his name to Sam… "It is…Su'Vil'Tak…do not call me by it, you may only call me Frozen Heart. Ec'Vij is Grinning Fangs true name, only use Grinning Fangs."
Sam blinked at the harsh tone…it dimly reminded her of someone talking…a voice that she dearly missed…however, before she could fully grasp the memory, Grinning Fangs moved his arm out of her grip. The sudden movement jerked her from la-la land and into reality, as she watched he handed her sketchbook over to Frozen Heart…
"No!"
It was Sam's worst nightmare…the book accidentally fell to the floor, landing on its spine, opening to the first page because Happy Go Lucky decided to turn into butterfingers at the last second! Groaning low in her throat she buried her face against Grinning Fangs shoulder, the first page depicted a face of a Predator, relaxed, noble looking, the battle scar on his forehead, and very attractive in her mind's eye…
"Someone kill me please…"
The silence in the room was so thick you could cut it with a freaking knife…the two Predators were simply staring, stunned or outraged, Sam did not want to know…
"Ooman…how…how do you know our High Elder Komma…?"
Turning away from her hiding place, she looked at Frozen Heart frowning. "I don't…" Another memory fluttered in front of her mind…
Flashback
"You need to eat…" A much younger Sam said, holding out an oversized platter full of assorted raw meats. A giant Predator sat reclining against a white wall, one hand resting on a bent knee, while the other lay upon his outstretched leg, clothed in nothing more then a loincloth. Colored completely black, except for his mandibles and inner teeth, he watched her with a tired expression and said softly. "I will not eat drugged food Ooman pup…now leave me."
The young Sam shook her head; Father told her to feed him, so she would feed him! "It isn't drugged…I went and got it myself so I know…" Once again, she held it out to the nine-foot tall creature, eyes of burning red steel watching her movements, never once straying. The Predator sighed and took the platter, setting it beside himself.
"I like your eyes…"
Now that the platter no longer encumbered Sam she sat down, chin resting on her bent knees, the Predator blinked and made a very gravely sounding chuckle…
End Flashback
A dull ache behind her temples said hello…as the memory went sailing away. "I don't know, I just came up with the face…I thought he looked se… Uhh could you get him to put me down?" The blush spread on her face, she nearly said sexy…Sam fought to appear unconcerned, but she kept shifting against Grinning Fangs hip…
A yelp escaped her as the world went tilting downward, wrapping both arms around the tree trunk neck. "What the hell are you doing?!" Grinning Fangs glanced at her and picked the sketchbook up, handing it to Frozen Heart. Like before, Sam reached out an arm to try to grab the book, only to have the world tilt right side up again…
"Don't look in that! No! Oh crap…" Frozen Heart ignored her pleas and flipped to the next page…
Pressing her face against the curve of Grinning fangs neck Sam sighed, page number two was the start of a joke comic about Predators… Clicks came from both of the Yautja as they gazed at the huge bold writing, a chibified version of Sam below it, giving a thumbs-up with a grin.
The title was…How to Catch a Predator…
"God I hope they can't read English…"
The next page Frozen Heart flipped to was a picture of a fully armored Predator crouching behind some bushes, they clicked in approval at the detail. Next page…the warrior had crept forward, his spear poised for an attack, next page, were bold words saying "MINE", next page, Sam had latched onto the shocked Predator's leg… Next page, too stunned to stab her with his spear he lifted his leg and then gave it a shake, only to find Sam was not budging, so he shook his leg even harder… Next page, the Predator glared down at the cartoon Sam who was grinning like a lunatic, he poked her, tried to pry her arms off his leg, spun around until he was dizzy, and still she would not move…
Frozen Heart and Grinning Fangs had fallen deathly silent after seeing the anime version of the hunter glaring down at the adorable chibi Sam…
As if a glutton for punishment, he turned to the next page…
Once again, to the more serious graphics, the Predator had limped back to his ship, where all of his comrades stood staring with slack mandibles at what their Elder had dragged back with him. Next page, he lifted his leg and pointed at her, "I can't get this Ooman female to let go…" Next page, to demonstrate he started the leg shaking process all over again…much to the Unblooded Warriors amusements. Next page, the Unblooded Warriors all tried their hand at removing Sam, nope still stuck like a super leach fangirl… Next page, the Elder had finally given up, but just as he turned to go on the ship, an idea light bulb went off over his head. Next page, he taped Sam on the shoulder, she looked up, "Would you let go of my leg now…?" she blinked, let go, waved and left… Next page, showed the Predator Elder with a very annoyed look on his face, and the chibi girl laughing her butt off.
Frozen Heart and Grinning Fangs glanced at Sam, neither speaking, she still had her face buried against the younger Predator's neck, and ears beat red with embarrassment. "Someone kill me please…" The slight crinkle of a page turning made her squirm against the large body, the next comic she had based on the first Predator movie.
The first page titled with more large bold writing, Mess with Him Mess with Me.
Frozen Heart turned to the second page, clicking softly at the detail, but apparently, he had learned from the first not to be at ease… The second page showed the face off between Arnold Schwarzenegger where the Predator had just removed his mask. Next page, Arnold was in the midst of saying "you are one ugly", next page, Sam came out of the blue with a shovel, slamming his head and making it explode. In bold writing, "He is not ugly!" then she turned to the gaping Predator and latched onto his waist, because she could not reach any higher.
Frozen continued to flip through the pictures, running a crossed a Yautja in a pink tutu, a half-naked sexy gothic Predator…then a chibified warrior, which Grinning Fangs clicked in amusement at. Upon hearing the Elder reaching the final page, Sam managed to find the will to turn away from the curve of pleasantly warm neck and look down, a seriously detailed picture of the so-called Komma, sat leaning against some wall…
"Ooman…" She cut him off, "My name is Sam not Ooman…" Frozen Heart glared at her, but nodded carefully. "Sa-aaaahm…we shall speak of this when the new cycle begins…" The Elder glanced at Grinning fangs and the rather possessive hold he had on her…
Wiggling against the powerful hold, Sam was no longer embarrassed but annoyed, sighing she placed an elbow on the broad shoulder before propping her chin up on her hand. Rolling clicks came from the Elder and he gestured to Grinning Fangs, at first Sam thought he argued because he started clicking back. However, a harsh growl made the broad shoulders slump, he loosened his hold though not enough, she literally had to slide down his hip and leg like a freaking pole…
Tilting her head back to glare at Grinning Fangs, she found him watching her with an unreadable expression, groaning caused them to look away and back to the bed. Fighting a small smile, Sam watched as Frozen Heart with a stubborn pride, carefully crawled backwards, struggling not to aggravate his wound. She wanted to help the giant Predator…but he would take it personally as an insult to his strength…fanfics do come in handy for info… Settling down on his back, Frozen Heart let out a long sigh, likely he had been holding it during his crab walk backwards.
"Thank God Father bought me a ten foot bed…"
"Hey if you get hungry or thirsty just give a…um, roar or something..." A roll of low sounding clicks rumbled from Frozen Heart, he placed his right hand on his stomach…and pretty much fell right to sleep. Sam jumped when a finger tapped her on the shoulder, looking up she could not help the little scowl that crept on her face, looking away, she was still annoyed with him for picking… Gray eyes flew to the size of saucers when Grinning Fangs placed two curled fingers beneath her chin, tilting her head back to face him, he had cocked his head to the side, mandibles opening and closing.
"Hungry…" The way he said it, along with the gesture…made two completely split notions of hungry pop into her head…and she was not sure if she wanted to think about the second one… He ran his thumb over her lower lip…
