Sometimes a cat will be afraid of another cat for no apparent reason. Sage might have inadvertantly startled Maggie in some way that you didn't notice. Maggie is now being on the defensive. Or Maggie might have had a totally different scare and is taking it out on Sage.

At this point you should contact the vet about some sort of antianxiety meds for Maggie. Then start the introduction all over again with the separation and supervised meetings. When Maggie doesn't feel anxious around Sage things will go a lot easier. In time the meds can be gradually withdrawn as Maggie learns that Sage isn't a threat.

Good luck! I hope things will work out.
