Answer
Macayla,

I would give the kitten to a neighbor or a friend for a couple of days and see if your girl cat stops howling.
She may just be grieving for her brother.
Did you ask how the girl behaved and acted when you were gone after she lost her brother?

FYI: It takes at least two weeks for cats to get to know each other.

Let me know how she is doing.
