To sign "eek," hold up your non-dominant hand in an open 5-handshape with the palm facing forward, as if you are startled or warding something off. At the same time, use your dominant hand to fingerspell the letters E - E - K. It is essential to use a cringing, startled, or frightened facial expression to convey the sudden emotion behind the exclamation.

Use your non-dominant hand for the 5-handshape gesture, and your dominant hand to fingerspell E-E-K. If you are right-handed, your left hand will naturally be the one holding the 5-handshape.
You can, but adding the non-dominant hand gesture and the strong facial expression makes the sign much more natural and expressive, perfectly matching the sudden emotion of the word.
To show a double letter like 'E', you can slightly bounce the 'E' handshape or slide it just a tiny bit to the side before changing to the 'K' handshape.
