I'm guessing the two kitties were not introduced properly over a period of weeks. Many people put the two cats together and hope for the best, but that is not how it works. Cats are highly territorial -- especially bengals. A new kitten has invaded their space. You do a very slow introduction by swapping scents and keeping the new kitten in a "safe" room with toys, bed, litter box, food and water.
I'm guessing your cat IS eating when you bring the food to her. If she's not, then take her to the vet to be checked out.
Some kitties want to be only children! Cats can eventually get along, but it doesn't happen overnight and takes time and patience from the owner. If there is any aggression, separate the cats. In fact, I'd start the "safe room" now and go from there. Swapping out scents, and then eventually bringing the new boy out and feeding them both in the same general area. Engage them individually with toys in the same room. Keep the distraction OFF each other.
It can take weeks or months for the cats to get along again. Be patient and work with the kitties every day. Hopefully, things will improve.
