One week and 3 days after introduction - more advice?

So...

So I've had Marigold for a week and 3 days now. Marigold is getting
fustrated being cooped up in my room (and so am I because she is
Meowing at the early hours of the morning!). If I let whiskers in my
room, she tolerates Marigold as long as Marigold does not get within 3
feet of whiskers and/or they don't make strait eye contact with one
another. If Marigold does not Whiskers will hiss at her and growl. If
I let Marigold into the house and whiskers see's Marigold she chases
Marigold around my house right back into my room with hisses!

So...its better than before, whiskers does not hiss on seeing Margold
from a distance, but I'm wondering what to do next? Whiskers does not
seem to enjoy having Marigold around

It takes awhile to integrate another cat. I would allow them to be together
while you are there. As long as one cat does not try to hurt another cat, I
would just try and let them work it out. Growling and hissing are normal. I
am still integtrating a kitten in my three female household. It has been a
month and they are still hissing and chasing one another.

Rowan hissed at Jeffrey for 6 months if he came within 3 feet of her.
They're getting on much better these days and I even caught Jeffrey
cleaning Rowan a couple times!
So, don't give up. It can take a long time.

Well...disaster this morning. Marigold got out of the room I had her
in (I had a baby gate in front of the door which until this point she
had decided NOT to jump). She hid for a while...I could'nt find her.
She found her way into my roomate's room where she was underneath the
bed. There was a big problem...that is Whiskers relaxing room.
Whiskers found her underneath the bed and all chaos ensued

The claws came out and whiskers went after Marigold. I tried to
seperate whiskers from Marigold and got my arms scratched off.

I know it takes time, but I am wondering if this is really going to
work out. Whiskers was REALLY violent towards Marigold. I don't want
to have Marigold living in fear while she lives here!
