the older, not to attack just be near her.
I don't understand because the older cat obviously doesnt like her but the newer cat just keeps going up to her, when shes hiding or in general. Right now they are both sitting on the bed, the older one grumbling in the corner while the new ones at the end of the bed. What does this mean?
When a new cat enters a household which already holds a cat, these kind of issues are quite normal. The old cat sees the household and the people in it as its territory and by nature cats are not happy to share said territory. If the new cat is younger, she is most likely still kind of oblivious to these facts and only wants to make friends. At the same time the older cat is having trouble accepting the new member of the household. Them sitting on the bed as you described seems a typical case of the two cats hashing out their issues with each other. The new cat wants to approach but doesn't dare because the old one is warning it of by grumbling. As they are not openly fighting though, I am sure they will figure out a way to accept each other soon. Just leave them alone and make sure not to favour one cat over the other. Show the old cat that it is still as appreciated as before and don't scold it when being rude to the new one. These issues take a while, so patience is my best advice.
