Burrowstar killed Sunset, but doing this would not let her escape her own death.
The Trail[]

During their apprenticeship, Ashpaw and Dapplepaw met Hearthsong and became apprentices under her.
And as warriors, Ashfrost learnt of her father quoting from Burrowstar that he had left them for some other cat but when Ashfrost took the journey to find him, supported by Dappledawn, she learned he was dead and was killed by Burrowstar.
Slowly one by one Cobrafang and Talonclaw died, making Burrowstar paranoid and eventually her campaign led her back to ShadowClan where Burrowstar was killed, Dappledawn had watched and had come to confront her, killing Ashfrost and sending her to the Dark Forest.
