Little had inspired Klaus over the past centuries the way the death of his daughter had. Little impacted Klaus the way it had. Finn's murder had been easy to shrug off, Kol's had wounded him deeper still, but nothing shook him as profoundly as Hope's death in this place. She hadn't been "his" Hope, so to speak (though he claimed her still). She was from a future place in a timeline he wasn't certain he would achieve. It made little difference, because she was his blood. He cradled her in his arms as an infant and he was mourning her short life now as if he'd been there through all the years. Time was a trivial thing if you thought about it long enough (and he'd had centuries). So Klaus's rage was as bold as it could have been anywhere else. He destroyed furniture, roared in anguish, and then he got quiet and he plotted vengeance. These modern people with their notions of justice and mercy and law. They didn't understand. A life for a life - and he would take his in far more brutal a way. It wasn't fair and it wasn't justice, it was vengeance and that's what he was owed. It's what his family was owed.
Naturally, Elijah was by his side. Over the centuries, Klaus had been put at odds with his elder brother, but now more than ever they were aligned. Elijah had always been the most steadfast of them all - Rebekah's heart made her falter too often, even if she was Klaus's favorite - and Klaus did not doubt his brother's own anger in this vendetta. Elijah was nothing if not brutally loyal to their family. It was something Klaus admired and loved.
Hayley and Freya joined the hunt as well. Hayley was owed her own vengeance in the matter. She breathed life into Hope as the cost of her own and Klaus would never deny her the chance to take what had been taken from her. She seemed convinced Hope would awaken in transition, but it had been days and still their daughter lie cold and very much dead. He could wait no longer and neither could the mother of that dead child. Freya came along as well - a Mikaelson now even if Klaus had been suspicious at first - having a witch in the hunting party only made sense in this land where magic was tossed about freely and unpredictably.
They picked up the trail after enough searching. With a physical description to aid him, coupled with a millennium's worth of honing the very art of relentlessness, Klaus - as well as the rest of them - had managed to narrow down where they would find Hope's killer. They would catch her (easily, he assumed) and they would take her back home and there they would determine just how brutal her fate would be. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he could picture Caroline clearly, speaking of mercy. But things like mercy, patience, and grace - Klaus cast them from his heart the moment he learned of his daughter's death. Blood was required in this endeavor, not mercy.
